Flash Memory Slot
Normally an external memory card reader must be
purchased separately in order to use memory cards from
devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile
phones, and PDAs. This Notebook PC has a built-in
high-speed memory card reader that can conveniently read
from and write to many flash memory cards.
E-SATA
E-SATA Port & USB Combo Port
External SATA or eSATA allows external connection of Serial-
ATA devices originally designed for use inside the computer.
It is up to six times faster than existing USB 2.0, & 1394 for
external storage solutions and is also hot pluggable using
shielded cables and connectors up to two meters. See USB
Port for description.
USB Port (3.0) (on selected models)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB
3.0, 2.0, or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing
devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners
connected in a series up to 4.8Gbits/sec (USB 3.0),
480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0), and 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1). USB
allows many devices to run simultaneously on a single
computer, with some peripherals acting as additional
plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices
so that most peripherals can be connected or disconnected
without restarting the computer.
